Which one will you used?

[xuan87]

there are a lot of us demand shop that accepting bitcoin as payment, but from this forum i found out that there are some people unwilling to spend their bitcoin, so I want to asked If you found a shop that accepted bitcoin and fiat as payment, which one will you used?

if you are using bitcoin then maybe today 1 apple is 0.0008 btc , but tomorrow with 0.0008 btc you can buy 2 apples, but if no one used bitcoin for shopping then there won't be any shop that will adopting bitcoin anymore

so what will be you choice?

[pedrog]

I always prefer to pay with Paypal, if Paypal is not available nor free returns is offered I don't shop there.

Online shopping has come a long away and now we buy a lot more than what we intend to keep, so some stuff will always be returned, easy refunds and free returns are mandatory.

I want to used bitcoin for shopping because I want to buy what I want instantly without exchanging it into legal money but before that happens, bitcoin need to adopt in the country. Sadly, there is no shop for bitcoin payment in our country for now and I hope it will be adopted in our country sooner.

For me more depends to my needs. If today did I need apple albeit with 0.0008 BTC only get 1 apple because I really need it now, though with 0.0008 BTC tomorrow I can get 2 apple. Plus bitcoin also unpredictable dude, it could be if you delay to buy the next day the apple prices can  more expensive and you have to pay more for one apple. thank you

It depends what I'm buying so my decision will vary. But since I have Bitcoin debit card this makes Bitcoin payment much more easier so I use this payment option more often and I'm very satisfied. But everything depends on exact situation and my estimation what is better for me at that moment, sometimes it will be Bitcoin and sometimes PayPal.

[ahmedjamal1998]

It depends. If I'm buying something expensive that needs shipping, I use Paypal in case of fraud or there is an issue where I need to get my money back again.

If it's a gift card ($10 - $50) I just use my bitcoins (but in a shop/person which I really trust of course) as it's just a small instant transaction.

[KennyR]

In a shop if bitcoin and fiat is accepted, then surely I'll go for fiat. The reason is that fiat has a common value, but bitcoin is not like that. Periodically bitcoin increases in value, so it's been saved as an investment to profit for a long time plan execution.

[NorrisK]

The main reason I'm not using bitcoin daily for purchases is simply the speed. Credit/debit cards are most often still faster to use and offer more protection as the buyer.

If these things somehow change, I'm definately using bitcoin more.

I do use bitcoin for certain purchases, such as VPN subscription, to increase anonimity.

Yeah. Choosing what to spend between bitcoin and fiat. I choose to spend bitcoin when buying online stuffs in the internet. Because the transaction was much convenient and yeah. I am buying in a shop that accepts bitcoin that's why I am not having any problem regarding it. Now, when I am shopping in the mall. I usually spend fiat because it is a simple transaction rather than paying by debit card or bitcoin.

[Red-Apple]

it depends on where the shop is!
if it is within my country and i can use my bank cards then it would be free for me to use without any fees or taxes so obviously i am going to choose that over bitcoin.

but anything abroad, i always definitely choose bitcoin over any other option despite all the problems lately with high fees and possible long confirmation time, bitcoin is still much better than options such as Paypal that i see some others use!

[Zadicar]

If people do really have strong beliefs about bitcoin on its potential value on future they would really decide not to spent their own bitcoin on just micropayments just like buying small amounts of goods and other stuffs and i would probably do the same thing too and instead of using my bitcoin i would still choose local fiat and tend to save up my bitcoin for future use.

As much as possible, fiat will be the one that will primarily used on any kinds and type of spendings whether for online and offline transactions. Well in the first place, that is an obvious thing to do even prior to the existency of bitcoin.

So with bitcoin now as a bonus to our usual financial life, it must be saved and will just be spend if it's really needs or in a such a case that can be called "no choice" or just want to try how bitcoin works in online transaction.

This has always been a little bit of concern for me. A majority of people use bitcoin as an investment venture rather than a currency, now the problem from both ends. People don't use bitcoin as currency as not many merchants accept bitcoin, while on the other hand, many merchants don't accept bitcoin because no one spends it. I personally also sometimes hesitate to pay with bitcoin for this reason itself. If i think about it, I bought a VPN subscription about a year ago for 70$ when BTC was $500, so technically according to today's rate i paid more than double for the subscription.

[eternalgloom]

I regularly pay for takeaway with Bitcoin through takeaway.com, I've probably spent around 600 euros last year alone.
In the past I've ordered from http://www.beesbros.com/ and http://bitcoinjerky.com/.

Me too. I use PayPal a lot on my online shopping. What I do is I sell my bitcoins for PayPal balance using the buy/sell feature on my coinbase wallet.

[Taki]

I didn't buy a thing with bitcoins directly yet. In my places there are not such places that accept bitcoins and that sites that accept bitcoin haven't anything interesting to me or they base somewhere in America and delivery costs huge and it's more profitable to buy in a local store. But in the case of it would be such place I would gladly pay with bitcoin. Bitcoin to me is easy money. Today I make it mostly with commenting only, so I would better spend bitcoins than fiat that I earn on my work, and it's kinda hard money to me.

[dunfida]

I would love to use my bitcoin directly on a supermarket which i do really wish this thing to happen on my place i dont mind on the value as long i dont need to exchange my bitcoin just to buy anything.

[bamboylee]

I am trading my bitcoins and I earn from doing it. So if ever I will choose between the two, I will spend fiat and store my bitcoin. There will be chance that bitcoin price will be very high and I do not want to regret if I spend it all today. I will reserve my bitcoin for that day.

[boyptc]

If I found a shop that's near to my location and they are accepting bitcoin. I will still think about it but I'll buy and use first my fiat for it instead of spending my bitcoins. Since my priority on my coins is for holding it and for investing it that way. But if there's a need to use my bitcoins for that shop and buy something they got that I badly need then I won't have any second thought on it.

[Shiroslullaby]

Right now we are at an interesting time, because even though the price of Bitcoin has increased, most people are still just mining/ hoarding.
There may be room for the price to go up if there is ever mass adoption.
Thats why I think its still prudent to buy and hold at least a coin or two if you can afford to do it.
